"Agile" has become a meaningless term I feel like. It used to denote the four values of the manifesto for agile software development and devolved into an entire industry of gimmicky practices sold by mediocre engineers who can't even make the simplest of CRUD apps. I'm still very much in favor of these four values. But in and of themselves they require a lot of thought and analysis in a recursive feedback loop to be used properly. What we have instead are mindlessly rigid processes for the sake of having a methodology and a huge track record of epic failures in Agile projects. It has become like a drug - people chase that initial high they will never, ever get back.
